REBOUND CHECK ESE,

Application filed November The invention is in the Way of a set ofrebound checks for automobile springs, and the object is to providemeans for checking excessive spring rebounds in fliltOillODllQS. \vhichrebounds :it'reqnently result in breaking the springs.

in the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation of the attachment as applied toan ordinary si-m'ii-elliptic spring;

in combination with an ordinary seini elliptic spring 1, or the lowerhalf of a full elliptic spring. attached by shackles 2 of an automobile3, the invention consists of a lovver curved leaf spring l, designated arehonnd cnecl: spring, which has its ends curled over to form boltsleeves 9, is set with its convened face up under the conventionalspring 1 and secured thereto hy the usual central, shackle 5; and tworipper, relatively short, curved leaf springs (3, designated shock checksprings, and set on top oi. the spring; 1, one at each end thereof andwith their convened sides ijlpward and ends boa ing' down upon thespring; 1.
